What to Do If Your Flight Is Delayed During a Trip
Flight delays happen, and how you respond in the first few minutes can meaningfully change how the rest of your day goes.
Check the airline app first
Most airlines push rebooking options through their app before the counter queue even forms — this is often the fastest path to a solution.
Know your rights
Depending on the route and airline, you may be entitled to meal vouchers, hotel accommodation for overnight delays, or compensation — worth checking the specific airline's delay policy.
